Alex De Capua4 weeks ago This was playing first time I went to a big night club. All dressed up smart clothes only, shiny shoes. It was a night club called chevaliers in stanmore. It was with a flame haired girl who was in a leopard skin dress. Debbie was her name. It didn't last. The night club has gone. I had this tune in my head for better part of 30 years. I only tracked it down this year. I hear this and I'm back there. That's the power of a song. No a great song.

Bonnie Speeg1 year ago The name: Williams Mix, made in 1952, eerily represents my family. We five children growing up in the 50's amidst parental chaos, the atom bomb, increased modern media, McCarthy, the Red Scare and Rock n Roll. Our name was Williams, the grown ups drank, there were many secrets, much music and a lot of disconnectedness. I vote this John Cage to be the background if there were movies of my family . There aren't. My parents didn't even think to buy a movie camera to capture their 5 beautiful kids

John d'Arke9 months ago I used to entertain ideas of suicide throughout my teens. Attempted it once and indulged in lots of reckless behaviour in the hope I might not survive.
Years later I lost my best friend to it. I was the one to find him, and cut him down from the ceiling then cradled him in my arms while crying like a baby for what seemed like an eternity (probably only ~5-10 minutes) for the ambulance to arrive.
Even writing these few words brings tears to my eyes...about 8 years later. I really am shattered by these events even now. I found out later he was having marital issues and struggling after the arrival of his first child. I didn't even know.
This event tore my life apart, and his wife and daughter's, and touched many more. It being suicide made it feel all the more tragic and pointless. Much more than any other friend I've lost to car & motorbike accidents and drugs and cancer etc. I'm still hesitant to make new friends to this day.
I don't know if it'll help to share, but I how it might help someone.
Take care and talk to someone you trust - friend family or counsellor if you feel this way.

devilkyn13 months ago This song literally changed my life. When I was young I was afraid of coming out in the small town I lived in. After buying the Empire Records soundtrack I listened to this song over and over until I had the courage to move out on my own and start living my life. Happily things worked out fine, but like i said this song literally was my catalyst to change my life :)Reply ·

A friend sent me a link to this site a few months back, and I gotta say what's already been said: this is an amazing project. It's heartwarming to see people other than myself get all nostalgic over "I.G.Y.", one of my all-time faves
